I want to have 1 machine running Win2k with NTFS, the other with WinME with FAT32. Can i write a word document on one machine, save it onto disk and then work on it again on the other machine? And if i put these machines on a network, can i transfer files between the two computers - or will it only work 1 way (NTFS can read FAT32 but no the other way around)?

thanx
 
if you have both machines on the network (one running ntfs on win2k and another with fat32 on winME) then you can share files BOTH ways by default. FAT32 can read NTFS shares over the network. What it cannot read is an NTFS partition on a dual-boot system (single machine, two OS'es; if you boot on FAT32 you cannot access the NTFS partition)

Hope this clarifies things.
